Okay my ladies and gents...this week's habit is Sleep, buuuut it is also the week of Halloween! There is so much fun to be had with friends, family, and especially the little ones. If you're anything like me, it also brings new challenges! SO! What are you going to do?! My challenge to you this week is to plan! PLAN! PLAN! PLAN! Seriously, it will make all the difference!
1 - Plan the Halloween candy you will be handing out. Are you going to get candy that is a temptation for you (so you can sneak one here or there)? or Are you going to get candy that you could care less about and aren't really tempted by? or... are you going to just hand out cool spider rings or glow sticks?
2 - Plan what you are going to have. Okay, we all know there are "traditions" with Halloween. The cider, the pumpkin chocolate chip cookies, the candy... decide NOW before the time comes what you are going to allow your self to have. Are you going to stick to plan 100%? Are you allowed to have a small cup of sugar free cider and one bite of a cookie? Are you allowed two pieces of candy of your choice? Whatever you choose, choose it now (not in the moment of weakness).
3 - Plan to succeed! Don't go into the week with a "well, I'm probably going to give in" attitude. No, you aren't. You are going to plan! If you plan that one piece and stick to that one piece, then you have succeeded! If you plan to eat one dang pumpkin chocolate chip cookie and do (and stop there), you have succeeded!
4 - Plan to not throw in the towel! Okay, so if by chance you do plan and you still give in during a moment of weakness....don't throw in the towel! Imagine you got a flat tire, would you go around and slash the rest of your tires? Imagine you got a small paint scratch on your car, would you go repaint the whole dang thing? NOPE. So, don't let a small mishap ruin the week. We all have moments...but they are just that...little moments.
I want to hear your plan. Take a moment today or tomorrow and send me your plan. You can text or email or facebook or call me...whatever is easier for you Just a little accountability can add a lot of punch behind that plan! ;)
YOU CAN DO THIS!
